laser fume extraction

Fume extraction systems are inherently noisy apparatus, therefore most companies employ some sort of silencing device to combat the problem.  However when reading through the ‘brochure’ it is worth considering the real life comparison in noise levels.  Bearing in mind the quietest system runs at 45 db, with most running between 55 - 70 db.  See below for examples:

150db - Rock music at its peak                140db - Firearms, jet engine

130db- Jackhammer                                 120db - Jet plane taking off

110db- rock music                                    100db-chainsaw, pnuematic drill

90db - Lawn mower, subway                      80db- Busy main street,

70db - busy traffic                                      60db- loud conversation, dishwasher

50db-moderate rainfall on a tin roof           40db- Quiet room

30db - Library
